Why does it have to be a hysterical woman? I think FR demonstrates that the male is just as capable of hysteria.

No doubt about that. LOL. It's a figure of speech, and it's the more politically incorrect way of saying it, which fits into the FR motif, don't you think? Anyway, I could have just said " ranting and raving like a damned ass". Fill in your own favorite epithet ;-)

Why does it have to be a "hysterical woman"?

Etymology: New Latin, from English hysteric, adjective, from Latin hystericus, from Greek hysterikos, from hystera womb; from the Greek notion that hysteria was peculiar to women and caused by disturbances of the uterus Date: 1801

Its an expression, like "...some crazy old man" or "...some punk kid" or "bitchy".

Advice:

1) Don't sweat the small stuff.

2) It's all small stuff.
